...Nicole Kidman, muting her starry presence, but unable to find a plausible alternative) is the literary figure here, a writer of grim stories that I'm pretty certain I'd run miles to avoid reading. She appears, glumly sardonic, at the island home of her sister, Pauline (Jennifer Jason Leigh), to witness her marriage to a slacker named Malcolm (Jack Black), who spends most of his time either bursting into tears or bursting into angry flames. The two women don't much care for each other, and various people, mostly associated with Margot - a husband she's dumping, a nearby...

Their names still say "class": Vivien Leigh, Wendy Hiller, Jean Simmons, Claire Bloom. Of course, in a class by herself, Audrey Hepburn. And Deborah Kerr, whose grounded grace illuminated some of the best relics from the 40s and 50s, and who died Tuesday...
...tally, Cornell pushed one in to take its second lead of the game. A pair of rookies kept Harvard alive by tying the contest at 2 in the 57th minute. Freshman Maggie McVeigh, who later forced the game-winning corner, scored off of an assist by fellow first-year Leigh McCoy on a 2-on-1. Harvard’s depth and versatility this season was especially noticeable during Sunday’s comeback rally. The team’s tallies came from an array of players from multiple spots on the field. The coach and captains agreed that...
